Abstract:
Amnion and chorion products show great promise and have real potential to be mainstays of treatment for chronic, nonhealing wounds. Although amniotic products do carry a cost, the decrease in time to healing, with the assumed subsequent decrease in complication and infection rates, should also be taken into consideration. These products, with their unique biologic potential and availability in the clinical setting, may prove to be beneficial in a vast array of podiatric surgical applications.

The foot is a complex structure composed of numerous bones and articulations. It provides flexibility, is the essential contact point needed for ambulation, and is uniquely suited to absorb shock. Because the foot must support the weight of the entire body, it is prone to injury and pain. When examining the foot, it is important to remove shoes and socks on both sides, so that the entire foot can be inspected and...
